PLEASE NOTE BRAND UNIPHYL IS ALSO MARKETED INTERNATIONALLY UNDER THE NAME UNIPHYL CONTINUS.
This medication is used to treat and prevent wheezing and trouble breathing caused by ongoing lung disease (e.g., asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis).

Controlling symptoms of breathing problems can decrease time lost from work or school.

Your doctor should prescribe a quick-relief medicine/inhaler (e.g., albuterol) for sudden attacks of shortness of breath/asthma while you are on this medication. You should always have a quick-relief inhaler with you. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
